Sascha Penn’s Power Book III: Raising Kanan is an American crime thriller drama tv series that launched on Starz on July 18, 2021. It is a precursor to Power and the second spin-off. The sitcom got approved for a season 2 prior to its broadcast in July 2021. Raising Kanan is a movie set in the 1990s that follows Kanan Stark (the persona first portrayed by exec producer Curtis “50 Cent”) as he enters the drug business.
Raising Kanan Season 2 Release Date
Power Raising Kanan has yet to be given an official announcement, however, depending on the annual period, a summer 2022 release date appears to be a possibility. On July 12, 2021, Raising Kanan was extended for a second season, more than a week before the show’s premiere on July 18, 2021. Nevertheless, the show did not dwell on Kanan’s involvement in the criminal world, and now a premeditated murder by the opportunistic drug trafficker has created quite a cliffhanger for the next season.

Raising Kanan Season 2 Story
The second season of Power Raising Kanan will begin with Kanan attempting to assassinate his father, Detective Malcolm Howard. The juvenile trafficker attacked the officer and left him for ghosts, but we found out in the season one finale that Malcolm had escaped the bullet and was now conscious. Regardless of the fact that Unique was already jailed, his mother, Raquel, wants to frame him for the crime. Will the investigator decide to put his son’s safety first?
Elsewhere, Kanan is sheltering in Maryland, but he has extensive ties to the mob in South Jamaica, New York – and he has no idea that the cop he killed is his father. Raquel is a tough lady who, after first shielding him from her drug peddling, was caught bringing him into the family enterprise. Thus according to actor Mekai Curtis, upcoming episodes will concentrate on everyone else’s actions having consequences, and how this “molds and molds Kanan and his thoughts.”
Raising Kanan Season 1 Recap
Kanan Stark, 15, is inclined to meet his family’s booming drug operation, which is managed by his mother, Raquel Raq Thomas, in South Jamaica, Queens, in 1991.
